2004 Lopez de Heredia "Viña Tondonia" Rioja Gran Reserva, Rioja, SpainABOUT THIS WINE Year of a very early maturation. Since March the vineyards showed a month in advance in comparison with any other normal year in Rioja. There were plenty of buds and a very good pollination. We had an early harvest as well starting in our House starting with the red grapes in October 9th. The sun shinned without stopping for two weeks which give us a perfect maturation even obtaining average alcohol contains of 13% Vol. all over Rioja
